PLAYERS VS THE GAME
GUARDIANS MUST UNITE TO PROTECT THE BEES AND REVIVE THE LOST STORIES!
In the cooperative game, the players are the Guardians of Ladakh, working together to revive the Stories of six regions. Each turn, players hike across the land to gather various Elements and Seeds. They must protect sets of three crucial Elements (Wilderness, Essential, and Culture) from each region to revive lost Stories.
However, as players gather Elements, waves of Hazards are triggered, destroying Elements and endangering the Bees. Guardians must collaborate to protect Elements, manifest Spirits, resist Hazards, and plant Seeds wisely to keep the Bees safe until all six Stories are revived.
GAME OBJECTIVE
The players win when the Stories in all six regions are revived.
The players lose if the Bee slider reaches zero.
